FAQ
How do I drop (withdraw from a class)?During the first week of the fall or spring semesters, you can drop a class directly through MyBlugold. There will be no record of your enrollment in your class on your transcript.
As of the second week, you must get approval signatures on a Change of Registration form to drop classes. You will receive a “W” on your record.
Dates for dropping a class with no record of enrollment and for withdrawing from a class with a “W” are prorated for short courses (those lasting less than 16 weeks) and for courses during summer and winterim. You can check these dates on MyBlugold.
For more information see "Issues to Consider before Withdrawing From a Class".
FAQ
Is it o.k. to go below full time?Dropping below full time (12 credits for a regular semester) can cause problems in the following areas: Athletic eligibility Health insurance (if the student is covered under
his/her parent's health insurance, full time enrollment is often required)
Veterans benefits and financial aid Eligibility for the Dean's list
Withdrawing from more than one course can affect your academic standing.
FAQ
How do I withdraw from the university?Withdrawing from the University is begun in the office of the College in which the student is enrolled. In emergencies the process can be done for the student by the Office of Student Development and Diversity.
Academic Consequences of withdrawing from the university: Withdrawing from the university during the first two weeks of classes (the
official period for adding or dropping classes) results in no academic penalty. A student receives either a full or partial refund of fees. A statement on the transcript indicates that the student withdrew from the University.
Withdrawal from the university during the third through the tenth week of classes will negatively affect a student's academic standing (because the student did not complete 75% of the classes) unless an "exemption to academic penalty" is approved by the student's Dean or Associate Dean. "W's" are always reported on the transcript.
Withdrawing from the University after the tenth week of classes will normally result in grades of "F's" for all unfinished classes. Exceptions to this policy, generally given for extenuating circumstances, may be obtained from the Dean of the College in which the student is enrolled, usually upon the recommendation of the Associate Dean of Student Development
FAQ
Can I change my adviser?You can always request a new adviser. Go to the department Academic Program Associate in HSS 112.
FAQ
How do I change my major or minor?You change your major or minor in the academic department. A complete list of procedures can be found at: http://www.uwec.edu/Registrar/ChgofMajor/index.htm
FAQ
How do I find out about on-line courses?A special web-page lists on-line courses. In addition, there is a special section of the on-line Class Schedule Bulletin.
FAQ
I want to take a summer school course back home. How do I know if it will transfer?Equivalencies for all UW System schools and Wisconsin Technical Colleges can be found on Transfer Information System (TIS).
Course equivalencies for private schools in Wisconsin and for Minnesota Schools are available on the UW-Eau Claire Registrar’s web page.
Prior approval forms: It is wise to do paperwork before you take the course. If they are going to Wisconsin or Minnesota school you should print out the equivalency currently on the web (see above), sign and date it, and turn it in to the Registration Office, Schofield 128.
Students attending a school not listed on either of the above web sites may file a Prior Approval Form.
FAQ

Unofficial transcripts can be obtained through "MyBlugold". Choose "My Info" and select "Requests for Degree Audits, Transcripts, etc."
FAQ
I'm not doing well in a course. How do I get help?The first rule is always to talk with the instructor. He or she can often give you study tips or help you will specific problems. A guide to tutoring help can be found at: http://www.uwec.edu/asc/Students/tutoring.htm
FAQ
How do I calculate my GPA?There is an on-line GPA calculator that calculates your semester GPA and can help you figure out what grades you have to get to raise your GPA.
FAQ
Is it o.k. if I take a course S/U?That is a complicated question. It is best to talk to your adviser before taking a course S/U since some majors have restrictions.
FAQ
I need enrollment verification for health insurance. Where do I go?You can request enrollment verification through the Registration Web site.
FAQ
I didn't get my retroactive credits for language. What should I do?Retro credits are not put on your transcript immediately, but if they do not appear within a few weeks of the end of the semester, you should contact your instructor. There is a form that you needed to fill out to get the credits and sometimes a student doesn’t fill it out or it doesn’t get to the Registrar’s office.
FAQ
I need to take a placement test. How do I go about doing it?If you are a current student, call 836-5522 or stop by Schofield 226 to see when we are giving the placement tests.
